Plainridge Racecourse Race 8

1609M

Stake: $41,990

UPTOWN HANOVER (3) scored at Yonkers Raceway two runs ago before having her colours lowered when second at her latest appearance over 1609m at Yonkers Raceway, beaten 2.25 metres. Will enjoy a nice run from this favourable starting position. Taking on a better field but she is up to the task. SIDE PIECE (6) was once again right in the mix last start when runner-up over 1609m at this track, beaten 0.6 metres. Won't find this any harder and she can go right on with the job. ARIZONA (4) is heading the right way, improving last time out to finish second at Saratoga over 1609m. Genuine threat. SWEDISH STARLET (5) cannot be left out after solid recent performances, the latest a sound third at this track over 1609m.
